About Us

We established Current Dental in 2004 with the goal to provide excellent patient care using a total health approach. We integrate our core values of health, choice, honor, and integrity to our practice of dentistry. We give our patients many choices, allowing you to co-plan your care according to your judgment and budget. We honor your decisions, and fulfill our promises to you as a patient with integrity.

Our dentists, Dr. Tim Verharen and Dr. Keegan Waldo, are especially sensitive to the trauma dental patient, providing drug-free techniques that relax and calm individual patients. Recognizing the states of hyperarousal and hypoarousal enable us to see signs of trauma and provide alternative techniques that calm the “fight or flight” response. Our entire office is designed to facilitate a calm, healing environment.

Dr. Tim Verharen

Dr. Tim graduated dental school in 1997. He spent his first 7 years of practice working with a community dental center, providing essential care to the underserved populations of Kitsap and Grays Harbor counties. Here, he picked up many of the concepts he uses for trauma sensitive patients today. Governor Gregoire recognized him with the “Governor’s Volunteer Service Award” in 2009.

Outside of work, Dr. Tim has an intense love for sailing. He recently completed a race from Victoria, Canada to Maui, Hawaii, which took 10 days and 20 hours to complete. Though their boat broke down 2,300 miles in, leaving them stranded in the middle of the ocean (something he says is about one of the scariest things that can happen to a person!), he doesn’t plan on giving up sailing anytime soon. He remains an active member of the Port Madison Yacht Club.

I am so glad that my husband and I found Current Dental when we moved to Bremerton a year ago. Super friendly and knowledgeable staff and very convenient location.

JESSICA E.

I have the biggest fear of the dentist. I was putting off having to find a new one that I could trust to work with me and be tolerant of my silly phobia. They’re the best!
